nothin' but net...

tonight was a momentous occasion marked by the sharing of chocolate chip cookies in a blue and white striped box. my sweet high school girls church basketball team won their first game! we played the other girls team from our church and i was very glad that we came out on top. hopefully this will turn the tide and we can win out (i'm not holding my breath on that one, but hey stranger things have happened!) the other coach and i have decided to embarce the absolute prissiness of our sweet team and are now on the hunt to find pink tennis socks to match our oh-so-fashinable pink jerseys to give as christmas presents. let me know if you know where these can be found!

in other news, the trip is set and the gang's all here... we are headed to miami to cheer on the deacs in the orange bowl! i can't believe it! after one of the best weekends in my life in jacksonville at the ACC Championship, going to a BCS bowl to cheer on my alma mater is just icing on the cake! hope to see lots of familiar deacon faces on the beach for new years!

tailgating before the game (and the rain)

can i just go on record as saying this past weekend in Jacksonville was the best and biggest party I have ever attended? Because it was! Three days later, I'm still hoarse from the multiple hours of standing in the rain and cheering loudly for the Deacs. My favorite part (besides winning the ACC Championship) was being in the stands after the game cheering, "It's great to be a Demon Deacon!" The whole trip was amazing- great friends, wonderful tailgate, AMAZING VICTORY, and a ridiculous "going to the orange bowl" celebration. While many details will not be told to protect the innocent and guilty, I will say a hearty thanks to the wait staff at the American Cafe at Jacksonville Landing for enduring multiple rounds of the Wake Forest fight song that involved every patron in the restaurant singing at the top of our lungs and cheering voraciously every time a fellow Deac passed our table! And as a little sidenote to all Georgia Tech fans who spike Wake fans into grassy hills, I'll just say- ORANGE BOWL BOUND, WOOHOO!!!! Hope to see many of you in Miami in the New Year!

i had a ferf sighting at the game!!
